Real pure parafin wax or better still 100% soy: more reading here.

There are so many methods of wax application, from torch and drip, to paintbrush, to drip ect. Each method has its own safety guidelines. I use a mix of soy and paraffin, paraffin wax has more structure and gets hard, where soy is more oil. Both have a low temp so both are normally safe when used appropriately, meaning dripped from a reasonable distance from the body. I think everyone really does create their own method after playing for a while. Me personally I use a barrier oil/gel on the skin to make removal easier as well as to protect the clients skin. Some people don't. When dripping I use low temp candles that are soy based because I like the run of the wax, you will have to play with it and figure out what you like best for you. There are a ton of resources online about Wax Play and many safety topics regarding it.
I like rubbing down with warm coconut oil...then using Marys soy candles.
After dripping the wax then rub it in ..it blends into the oil and leaves hardly any flakes or mess. And makes the skin silky
Mmm sexy miss DM. Ill rub warm oil all over YOU
Doc Johnson (the brand name), makes wax play candles (which are safe to use and won't burn the person). Just a suggestion and what I use on my subs who like to do wax play.
In my experience, best practices involve selecting the right candle/wax, as others have stated. Some sort of protective o? for easier removal is nice, unless the Dom(me) is a bit more sadistic.
I prefer to warm the area up with some mild impact play, although once you have a feel for a submissive’s tolerance, sometimes you can forego. Height from which you’re dripping is critical. Too far away and the wax has sufficiently cooled to not stick. Too close and you risk a burn. Comes down to knowing your bottom and their likes/dislikes.
